Sad about going back to work....

BandG06

I still have a few weeks left with the little guy....I start work on 4/26 - but we visited the daycare I'll be leaving him with today and it made it very real that I won't get to be with him all day pretty soon. That makes me so sad.  

I trust the daycare that I'm leaving him with, and the ladies there were great with him....I just wonder if he'll miss me and wonder why I'm not with him all the time anymore...please tell me it gets easier!

I feel the same way. I'm back to work on 4/19 and dreading it!!

I don't go back until June and I'm dreading it already.

went back 4 wks ago - wouldn't say it gets easier but you get used to it and learn to really appreciate and make the most of your time with LO!

This is me exactly. I keep having small anxiety attacks about it. I am dreading it

This is my 3rd week back. I'm not sure it's getting easier, per se, but I'm getting used to it. I'm lucky in that DS is home with his dad so I know he's being well cared-for. Still makes me sad to leave him every day though.

I have to go back the first week of May, although I really don't want to.  It does make me very sad.  I get upset when I think about it.  Your post makes me wonder about my daughter missing me as well.  I just want her to feel loved and safe, and not like I'm abandoning her.  Ahhh!  Now I'm upset thinking about it! I wish peace and comfort to all mothers' hearts, because that has to be so hard!

I still hate that DS has to go to daycare but it is so much easier. I am in a routine and it's nice to interact with other adults. And, it is so great to see him smile at me when I pick him up after work.

I don't go back until June but was already dreading it. I went in today for a few hours to clean up some work that was left undone when my maternity leave started abruptly, and I think it helped me adjust somewhat to the idea of going back. It was hard to leave her for even a few hours, but going in for a few hours helped me get past the idea that working again would be excruciating and that it would be impossible to leave DD.
